Guadalupe

The Promise Guadalupe partnership serves children and families in the Rose Park, Poplar Grove, and Glendale communities in the Salt Lake City area. These neighborhoods experience high poverty and 91 percent of kids are members of families with incomes at or near the poverty level. Children also experience many barriers to learning and approximately 50 percent are below grade-level in reading and math. In these neighborhoods, cost is a significant barrier to health care. Sixty-eight percent of adults are not insured and only 47 percent receive regular health care.

Guadalupe's promise is to teach economically disadvantaged children and non-English speaking adults the vision and skills needed to live productive, rewarding lives. Guadalupe is dedicated toensuring that 90 percent of its students meet or exceed the district or state academic standards in core subjects.
